At Cribbage Boards by Lorne Mertick I made my first cribbage board for my grandfather when I was seventeen. It was a high school shop project, a pine table with mahogany trim. I can fondly remember my relatives playing spirited games on this piece. I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan; perhaps the cold prairie winters helped me develop a true love for the game of cribbage. This has led me to my current interest in producing custom hand carved wooden cribbage boards for over 25 years.
I live in Calgary, Alberta and the western influence shows itself in many of my pieces. Cowboy boots, guitars, log cabins, horseshoes and rope edges – there are endless possibilities. I usually carry an extensive selection of wood burls and slabs including walnut, cedar, maple, yew, fir and Birdseye maple. I also have abstract designs with extensive carving including bridges, hills, rocks, undulating surfaces and water features.
